Monday, July 22. House Oflords.-Theearl ...
MONDAY , July 22 . HOUSE OFLORDS .-TheEarl of St . Gkrhans , who has charge of the Marriage Bill , intimated his wish to Sx the second reading of that measure for this day . lard BwroGHAH , the Earl of Euskborobsh , and Lord Stasist thought that the bill ought not to be pressed on at this late period of the session . The Earl of St . Gkrmaks said that he would consider before the house met again as to the proper course to be pursued with regard to tbe bill . The Earl of Egltstox moved that Joseph Byrne
Joseph Hinde , and Duncan . M'Arthur , be called to the bar to answer for an alleged fabrication of names appended as signatures to a certain petition . The three individuals in question were accordingly called to the bar , and having , as we understood , confessed that fictitious names had been attached to the petition , were adjudged to have been guilty of a breach of privilege , and committed to Newgate . ... The Marquis of Lassdowse communicated a message from Her Majesty with reference to the proposed provision for the Duke of Cambridge , and gave notice that he would this day move an address to the house on the subject .
The County Courts Extension Bill was then read a third time , after which , Lord Beaomost proposed a clause providing that nine of the existing clerks of county courts who had given up freehold offices to accept their present situations should not be removable . This was opposed by Lord Bsoeghau , hut carried on a division , in which the numbers were—Contents „ -l 9 " Son-contents ... ... ... 13-6 Lord Brougham proposed an amendment , the object of which was to give a concurrent jurisdiction to the superior courts in actions for sums above £ 20 , Lord Beatuoki objected to the amendment , which would neutralise one of the most important features of the measure .
Tbe Lord Chakceiaob supported the amendment , and recorded it as his opinion that so attorney for the sake of increased costs would advise his client to resort to a superior court , as he would run the risk of losing his practice . The amendment was ultimately agreed to , and tbe bill passed . Their Lordships then adjourned , after disposing of fee other orders of the day . THE HOUSE OF COMMONS . —At the morning sitting , in committee , tbe house got through the remaining clauses of the Mercantile Marine Bill by three o ' clock , and then suspended business until five . When the house re-assembled ,
Lord J . Russell announced the intention of tbe government not to proceed further this session with the Oath of Abjuration ( Jews ) Bill , which would he re-introduced at an early period of next session Gn the order for going into a committee of supply , Mr . Hums called the attention of the house to the petition from Demerara praying for British institutions , and expatiated upon the condition of British Guiana , complaining of the proceedings of Governor Babely and of the Colonial-office . He concluded by moving that copies of certain despatches frora the colony be laid upon tbe table . Lord J . Russell shortly defended Governor Barkly and the government , which had had to contend in British Guiana , not with a reform party , but with an oligarchy . The despatches moved for had not been received .
Mr . Heme wished to withdraw bis motion , but Lord J . Russell objecting , it was negatived . Mr . Hcrr then called the attention of the house tothe petition of Mr . G . C . Redman , with reference to his Portendic claims , and after pointing out the injury he had sustained , was about to conclude with a motion , from which , however , he was debarred by the rules of the house . Tbe CHAXCEtLOEofthe Exchequer , without entering into the merits of the case , admitted that Mr . Redman had suffered considerable loss , but he had no claims upon the government .
The bouse went- into committee of supply upon the Civil Service Estimates . The votes for . the colonies of Few Zealand , Hong Kong and Labuan led to much miscellaneous discussion , and the last revived the subject of the controversy between Sir J . Brooke and Mr . Wise . The report of the committee npon the Queen ' s message respecting a provision for tbe Poke of Cambridge and Princess Mar ; of Cambridge was brought np and agreed to . The reports of the Committee of Supply was
brought up and agreed to . The Ecclesiastical Commission Bill was read a third time and passed . The reports on the Equivalent Company and on Excise-Sugar and Licenses were brought np and agreed to , and bills were ordered to be brought in . The Militia Pay Bill and Court of Chancery ( Lancaster ) Bill were each read a third time and passed . The Registrar of Judgments' office ( Ireland ) Bill was read a second time . The Friendly Societies Bill was committed . On the Attorneys' Certificate Bill ,
Lord R . Gbosvsxob moved that it be read a third time on Thursday , The Chascellob of the Exchequer moved as an amendment , that it be deferred for three months . Upon a division , the original motion was negagatived by 112 to 88 , and tbe amendment was carried by 113 to 84 . The bill is therefore lost . The otber business having been disposed of the house adjourned at ten minutes to three o ' clock .
TUESDAY , Joxt 23 . HOUSE OF LORDS . —Almwaxce to THB Cam ! bridge Famht . —On the motion of the Marquis of Lassdowjte , ah address was agreed to , in answer to her Majesty ' s message , expressing the readiness of ihe house to concur in making a provision for the Duke of Cambridge and his sister . Lord BsocoHAxtook the opportunity of reiterating his opinion , that so long as the Royal Marriage Act remained on the statute book , it was but strict justice that Parliament should provide for the TOnnger branches of the Royal Family . But for that act , they « -onld undoubtedly marry into the wealthiest families in the kingdom . The Bills for regulating the Census of next year
were read a third time , and passed ; as was also the Militia Ballot Suspension Bill . Aliek Act . —In reply to a question put by Lord Stanlet on &¦ former evening , with special reference to the Industrial Exhibition of 1851 , the Marquis of Laksbowse said it was not the intention of the government to propose the renewal of the AllenAct . Their lordships then adjourned . HOUSE OP COMMONS . —At the morning sitting , The Memcai . Chabities ( Irelasd ) Ban made progress in committee . At tbe evening sitting , Mr . Waklet presented a petition from a public meeting held at the National Ball , flblborn , praying for inquiry into the circumstances connected with the trial ofa person named Berer , for sedition .
Ibisb Poob Law . —Colonel Ddkse moved for leave to bring in a Bill for amending the Irish Poor Law . He had no hope of passing the bill this session , but trusted he might be allowed to lay it on the table . The absolute necessity . ef such an act was , he argued , proved by the fact that , whereas , in 1847 , the rental of Ireland was 413 , 000 , 000 , and the poor rate £ 500 , 000 ; in 1849 , the rental , owing to tbe repeal of the Corn Laws , had been reduced to £ 9 , 000 , 000 , and the rate increased to £ 2 , 000 , 000 , ' or 8 s . 44 . in tbe pound , an imposition it was impossible for Irish landowners to bear . Mr . fLuouoN seconded the motion . Mr . P . Scbope said the effect of the proposed bill would be to destroy the present poor law of Ireland .
Its object was to save expenditure , and abolish outdoor relief . He ( Mr . Scrope ) contended that outdoor relief was , at this moment almost abolished , in order to produce reduced expenditure . That reduced expenditure had been effected at the cost of the suffering poor of Ireland . In the south and west of Ireland the poor were dying in numbers , owing to tbe inadequate relief that was afforded . The tine qua turn to tbe abolitionof out-door relief should he in-door relief of & proper character . Mr . 6 . Osborne had declared , that the poor houses in Ireland were shamefully over-crowded and mismanaged . If the government allowed tbe poor htw to become a dead letter-, the responsibility would rest frith them . The people had within the last six
noa ' A- * died of starvation by hundreds and by thousanr s ; and he called npon the government to see that tne poor law was carried out in such a manner as would relieve the parishes , and the ratepayers , Sad provide adeqoate relief for the poor . He had , over and over again , called npon the government to introduce a reproductive system of employment , with respect to the poor of Ireland . The report of the Board of Works showed how that employment might be afforded . It would be far better to employ the poor in improving the land , and advancing the prosperity of the country , than by crowding them in poor houses , under a system -which was destructive to health , and which benefited no one . Mr . F . Fbesch supported the proposed measure ,
as did Major Blackall . Sir Gsobgb Gbet would refrain from opposing the introduction of the bill , but begged distinctly to disclaim any sanctien , on the part of government , of the opinions expressed by the mover .. He thought that tune would show the advantageous working of the Irish Poor-law ; and he could not think , with Mr . Scrope , that government ought to interfere with the administration of that law . But he thought that all : consideration ought to be extended to the Irish landlords , who at presepiv no doubt , suffered under the new burden imposed upon *?» em . However , tbe Irish Poor-law he conceived to be a most valuable enactment , and he had » o intention of beiojr a party tP ; any « cheme for its alteration .
Monday, July 22. House Oflords.-Theearl ...
Mr . SrifWHD supported the motion , found fault with the present Irish Poor-law , and pleaded the peculiar hardship of the case of the Irish land-Sir H . W . Babros declaimed vehemently , against the tyranny of Englishmen , who insisted on governing Irishmen by majorities in that house , * thei " sense of the Irish party was opposed to the opinion of such majorities . He threatened that government should have no meani of ruling Ireland in peace and quietness , until the evils of that country were remedied . Meantime he should support Colonel Panne ' s motion . Mr . Shabjias Crawford should also support the motion , bnt disapproved of the last speaker's
advocacy of it . Leave was given to bring in the bill . Tkmsi Farmers' Incoms Tax . —Colonel . Sibthobp then rose to submit a motion for the remission of the income-tax levied on the tenant-farmers . He contended that the avowed object of the alteration in the Corn Law was to give protection to domestic agriculture ; whereas from 1842 the landed interest had been suffering constant depression , owing to foreign imports , which worked in various waya to the injury of the tenant farmers , who were thus disabled from employing labourers . Their distress being admitted , he appealed to the Chancellor of tho Exchequer to acquiesce in the object of the motion now , or in the next sesssion .
The Chahcelior of the Exchequer said , that to relieve one class , from the operation of this tax would be unjust to other classes , and inconsistent with the principle of the tax . Next session would be the time for considering the general question . Mr . Buck urged the distress of the landed interest , and declared his determination to support any proposition for the relief of that interest . Mr . Hewtjkgate complained of the course pursued by the government towards the agricultural interest this session .
Mr . Wodehodse said that the English farmer was in a new . position ,, and when the house met , after the recess , Ms . whole condition , and that , too , of his landlord and hig labourer , must be fully investigated . ' ' :- . ¦ .- : - Mr . Spooher urged that the tenants were assessed to the tax , upon a false principle , and suggested that the Commissioners of the Property Tax should be authorised to hear appeals of tenants , who though , charged upon profits , had been suffering loss . . Colonel- Sibihorp said he would certainly take the sense of the house npon the question . The gallery was then cleared , and the division at this period would have carried the motion . Mr . Home rose , and spoke during the exclusion of strangers . On the re-admission of the latter ,
Mr . Disraeli was speaking . He said that he should support the motion , which he conceived to be in perfect concord with the principles which he had always advocated . He saw no difficulty whatever in giving this most just relief to the suffering agriulturists . Mr . Bright said that it was necessary to impose the tax in the way now employed , because farmers did not keep such exact books as tradesmen . He proceeded to say that the Protection cry was nearly worn out ,: hut as some cry would be necessary during the recess , he supposed that this was the devise with which the Opposition were going to try to keep up the delusion practised upon the farmers . This attempt would be considered throughout the country as a most impudent one . The Marquis of Gbasbt said a few words upon the altered condition of the farmer from what it
was at the time the income-tax was imposed . The house then divided , negativing the motion by 50 to 32 : majority 18 . Mkwcal-Rctobm . —Mr . Wtld obtained leave to bring in a bill to incorporate the general practitioners of surgery , medicine , and midwifery . Thb Ionias Despotism . —Mr . Hume then called the attention of tbe bouse to the riots and proclamation of martial law in Cephalonia , and to the grievances of tbe inhabitants of the Ionian Islands . He arraigned the conduct of the present Lord High Commissioner , and complained of tbe abolition of constitutional law in those islands , the unnecessary proclamation of martial law , and the general misrule . Stating the grounds upon which he impugned
tne proceedings ot » r it . ward ; he severely condemned the executions , ' floggings , and burnings of houses in . the island , as well as the supineness of the Colonial Office . "What he wanted was an inquiry by a commission on the spot , and he moved an address to that effect . Lord Nogest seconded the motion . He considered that the people of Cephalonia bad been misrepresented ; that they had been treated unjustly , cruelly , and illegally ,- ; and tbat there should be an inquiry injustice to the people , and even to Sir H . Ward himself . Lord Nugent was proceeding , when the house , npon being counted , was found to consist of only thirty-eight members , and an adjournment took place ' at a quarter past nine o ' clock .
"WEDSESDAY , JuxT 24 th . HOUSE OF COMMONS . —The second reading of tbe Poor . Relief ( Cities and Towns ) Bill was moved and discussed for some time . Ultimately , Mr . Baises , suggesting that the session was approaching its end , and tbe whole question involved with the law of settlement , Mr . Shafxo Adaib consented to withdraw the measure for the present year . . Compound Householders Bill . —Sir W . Clay , in moving the second . reading of the Compound Householders Bill , said that the Reform Bill conferred the franchise on those who occupied houseof £ 10 annual value , provided they resided a certain period and had paid their rates . One of the
conditions essential to the franchise was tbat the names of the parties should be on the rate booh . Now , there existed a class in London , and , he believed , in almost every large town in the country , who , though inhabiting houses of the value of £ 10 andupwards-of ' en as high as £ 18—had not their names on the rate book , and for this reason , that in many parishes the local acts enabled the owners of houses to compound the rates of the tenants .- The owners gained a small profit by compounding and relieved the parishes of tbe difficulty of collecting the rates from many parties , but the effect was this—that thejoaly name on the rate-book : being the name of the owners of the bouses—often-to the extent of'twenty , thirty , or
forty houses—the . overseers had no power to return the names of the occupants to the returning officer , and thus numbers of properly qualified persons were disfranchised . This was considered for years after the , passing ( of the Reform Bill an insuperable objection ; but , 'according to the thirtieth clause of that bill , it was held that a person might claim to bo among the list of voters although his name might not be npon the rate-book . That applied only to the then existing rate , so that it was necessary that the person must renew his claim and tender for every rate ; and virtually this condition had the effect ot disfranchising large numbers of tenants . . The object of the present measure was to pat an end to the necessity of . their making
these incessant claims , and to provide that , having made these claims and complied with the provisions of the Reform Act , they should be on the register . Then * vote could still be challenged for want of residence or non-payment of rates ; andthe bill would confer tbe franchise on very many deserving and properly qualified persons . Mr . Newdeoaie said this bill had been introduced last year ,. ahd that it stood for a second reading on the 27 th of July . This year its seconi reading was moved on the 24 th of July , and therefore again of three days was obtained on the present "occasion as compared with last session . . The
house , havmg heretofore considered the proposition , cameto the conclusion that the machinery of the bill > as imperfect , and that it would be improper to proceed with the measure . He believed the bill would' open a door for enormous frauds , and tbat it would cause numbers Of faggot votoi to ' . b © manufactured . Lord Denman had given it as his judicial opinion that its principle , if acted upon , would forster bribery . He believed that while county ; voters were on the decrease boroughs voters were on the increase—to the extent of 30 , 000 in 1849 as compared with 1818 He moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day six months . . .
Snr G . Gket said he should vote for the second reading of the bill , believing that its object came entirely within the spirit of the Reform Act . ( Hear . ) Local acts , did certainly enable the owners to compound rates , and thus perpetually ' recurring claims were occasioned . The present measure would make one claim sufficient , providing all the conditions attached . to the Reform Act had been complied with . Si . e . "K . Boxros approved of the principle of the bill j . and would vote in favour of its second reading . - _ Mr . Spoosbh thought as the lateness of the session interposed a barrier to the passing of the bill it was only a waste of time to' continue the discussion of its objectionable principle . Mr . Trelawhxt supported the bill , and said that
.. if the government did / hot go on and extend the suffrage they might depend upon it they would not beallowed much longer to rule the country . Sir H . WniooGnBXObjectedtoa ' continuous claim provided the tender were once made . Sir G . Pechell approved of the principle of the bill , and expressed a hope that its second reading would be carried . Sir W . Clay replied . _ Mr . Newoeqaib explained . - Sis objection to the bill was mainly grounded on the fact that he believed it would open a door to great frauds . The house divided —• For the motion ... ' .. ... ... 80 ; ... Againstit' ; .. ,.. < - ... ... 2 fc-58 The bill was accordingly read a second time . Sundat Trading : Puevkktioh Bill . —Mr . Pe * arsov moved the second reading of this bill—a mea-i sure founded upon a report of a committee of the
Monday, July 22. House Oflords.-Theearl ...
other nouM , which had passeo the bill . He supported it upon civil grounds , as a means of securing a day of rest to small tradespeople , who ' were prevented from adopting a voluntary rule , and in order to rescue for the working olassei the seventh day from that fierce competition to which those classes were exposed . This was the principle of the billall the details of which he did not defend , Mr . B . Wall moved to defer the secend reading for three months . He denied that the bill was
borne out by tbe evidence taken by the Lords' Committee , some portions of which he analysed ; but he did not rely upon any part of that evidence for or against the bill , except that of Mr . Commissioner Wayne , which went to prove that it would be inoperative . He objected to it aa a religious bill , because it contained no religion in it ; as asocial bill , because it interfered with everything and settled nothing , and because in its inception it was unfair , leaving out o scope the powerful class of victuallers .
Colonel Thompson supported the bill , believing that it would really be a heavy blow to the Sabbatarians . Mr . Alcccr . likewise supported the bill , but upon the ground that , without-injury to the working classes , it would put down Sunday markets , which were Sunday fairs , and afford a relief to tradesmen . Mr . Anstbt opposed the bill , which , he contended created an invidious distinction between rich and poor . Bills of this kind did not remedy the evils against which £ hey are aimed , they were rather calculated to extend and perpetuate them . Lord D ; Stuart , without adopting all the details of the bill , thought there were sufficient reasons why it should be read a second time . He advocated
it upon grounds entirely separate from religion , solely upon civil and social considerations , its object being to prevent unnecessary trading . Mr . G . Thompson likewise supported the principle of the bill . The evils of Sunday trading were innumerable ; some localities in the Tower Hamlets were nuisances on Sunday . Mr . Hawss bore his testimony to the fact that a large proportion of the metropolitan parishes de ; sired some reasonable restraint upon Sunday . tra ? ding . This principle was all the house was called upon to affirm . Mr . * W . J . Fox would support a measure efficiently tending to secure to the largest number possible , consistently with the comfort of society in general , the inestimable blessing of having one
day in seven delivered from the common pressure of the toils and cares of work ; but he did not think that object would be promoted by this bill . This was not a bill for securing a day of rest to the great mass ; it was a Lambeth shopkeers' measure , directed against orange and apple stalls . ( Hear , hear . ) If the bill should become law , you must not buy a Bible or Prayer-book on a Sunday , but you may buy a newspaper , provided it were stamped—a stamp which would no longer secure it gratuitous transmission by post on Sunday , ( Hear . ) A general investigation ought to precede any measure upon this subject , and without it these petty and partial measures ought not to be entertained ( Hear . ) Was the Jew to be compelled—possibly
his conscience protesting against it—to keep the Sunday of the Christian , who had' his shop open when the Jew ' s was ehutl ( Hear . ) It was im possible to separate this bill from tbat great effort making in behalf of opinions which were a relic of Puritanism , belonging chiefly to this country and to modern times , and without sanction in that book from which the Christian law was deduced . ( "Hear , " "Oh ! " ) Luther and Crarimer , and tbe great reformers gave no countenance to the views now put forward ; and those who held the opinions just referred to must not expect to impose them upon the whole nation with the aid of legislation . ( Hear . ) Such a
bill as this was not brought forward with pure hands . The great spirit of the ancient commandment was not the suppression of trading , but was — " Thou shalt do no work ; " and domestic service especially was the object of the prohibition . But did not the Sabbatarians employ their grooms , and coachmen , and household servants ? ( Hear , bear . ) Nor was he ( Mr . Fox ) disposed to look favourably upon such measures as this until he saw the day of rest regarded more generously . Rest was not the mere unintelligent cessation from toil , nor was the term satisfied by attendance at church or at chapel , whether the individual was awake or asleep when there . ( A laugh . ) Combined with restrictive enactments , there should be facilities afforded to
the multitude for resorting to some of those means for recruiting exhausted frames and minds which were enjoyed by their superiors . . The parish baker was the poor man ' s cook ; let the one work tor the many . The omnibus and the steam-carriage were the poor man ' s coach ; let . him have as free use of them as the rich man had of his carriage . No one would dream of forbidding the rich man ' s going into his library on the Sunday . The public reading room was the poor man ' s library . ( Hear ; hear . ) The rich man contemplated his paintings and his statues ; let the poor man have access . to the great works of art , —let him have that which formed a sort of resting-place between what might be the high spiritualism of devotional -serviceand
the low and gross animalism of mere sensual enjoyment . ( Hear , hear . ) He ( Mr . Pox ) believed the bill would operate partially , and had a petty and unworthy object ; and , instead of going 10 tO committee with the view to damaging the bill , he should oppose the second reading . ( Hear . Sir J . Graham considered that a decent observance of the Christian Sabbath was not , as Mr . Fox had characterised it , petty or unworthy , though be agreed with him that it was not desirable to enforce a gloomy , ascetic observance of it , and that all rational amusements of the people ought to be
tolerated . The difficulty of the subject was , however , great , and though , when : he had been Secretary of - State , representations were made to him of the evils and abuses of Sunday trading , he found the subject so difficult that he bad refrained from introducing any measure upon it . But tbe question was , whether he should ; reject-a measure passed by the Lords . He thought , on the whole , that it was tbe nearest approximation to a reasonable measure , and he should go into committee upon the bill with the purpose of endeavouring to amend its defects and supply its deficiencies .
Upon a division the second reading was carried by 101 against 22 . The house then went into committee ; npon the Copyholds Enfranchisement Bill , where it was lost by a division of 61 to 36 . The Debtors and Creditors ( Ireland ) Bill was read a second time . The Borough Gaols Bill wasread a third time and passed . -.-The Coroners' Pees Abolition Bill ahd the Navy Pay Bill were each read a second time , the former with an intimation that it would not be proceeded with this session . : The Cruelty to Animals ( Scotland ) Bill went through committee . The dropped orders of Tuesday were disposed of , and the house adjourned at six o ' clock .
THURSDAY , ' Juir 26 . . , HOUSE OF LORDS .-The Earl St . Gmmaks withdrew the Marriages Bill , trusting that the Earl of Ellesmere ( for whom he was acting ) would introduce a similar measure early next session . Several bills having been forwarded a stage , their lordships adjourned . ..-..

The Attorney-General admitted that he had refused to append his signature to ' the injunction asked for against the Commissioners of the Industrial Exhibition , to prohibit tbe erection of their intended edifice in Hyde Park . The ri ght honourable gentleman declared his willingness to justify this refusal , if called upon . ' ,-. - In answer to Mr . B . Cocurank , ** : Lord Palmerstos stated that the arbitratien ' of Sardinia and Russia had been successively suggested in order to settle the differences pendin ? between thiscountryand . Tuscany ; but that both
Buzzeslions had neen , declined by the government , who had , nevertheless , declared themselves willing to accept the good offices of the former power . On tbe motion for going- into Committee of Supply , Lord Naas moved an address to the Crown praying that measures should be taken to insure a regular steam communication between England and the Australian colonies . After reviewing the-respective merits of the three suggested routes for the line of steamers , vis ., by way of Singapore , the Isthmus of Panama , and the Cape of Good Hope ; the noble lord summed np in favour of the last mentioned project .
The Chancellor of the ExcHBomm admitted th « self-evident utility , of such a communication with Australia . He regretted , however , -that he could not state the success of the ministerial efforts to accomplish that object ,- and went a t Some length into a detail of the abortive negotiations which had been undertaken with the East India Company in the hope of arranging upon a satisfactory basis for a steam packet service between Singapore and the Australian colonies . ¦ ••'• ¦ ., Sir J- Weir Hoog complained that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not only made indiscrS X „ Z M , ^^ 8 COrr J eTndenoe oarr « d on' be S ^ s ^^ fe ^^ theaffiur . - & gave notice Of his intention S move

HOUSE OF-COMMONS . — The house met at noon , when the consideration in committee of the Mercantile Marine ( No . 2 ) Bill , was resumed , and many clauses passed . At three o'clock the house adjourned for two hours . The house having re-assembled at five o ' clock , on the motion of Lord J . Russell resolved itself into a
committee upon the Queen ' s message , respecting a provisionfor the family of the late Duke of Cambridge . ,. After a caveat by Mr . Hdue , Lord J . Russell explained to the committee the provision which had been made for the late Duke , amounting latterly , to £ 27 , 000 a year ; but he bestowed large sums in charity , and the rumour that his royal highness had accmulateda large property , which-would be inherited by his son , was groundless , The property left by the late Duke was divided among his three children , and the present Duke ' s share was almost absorbed by the charges to which it was subjected . Besides his professional income , derived from the array , the present Duke bad no other income than £ 1 , 200 a year . In considering the amount of the provision he should propose for \ ho present Duke , he had looked to the precedent of
the late Duke of Gloucester , who enjoyed at his death an annuity of £ 14 , 000 , and he had come to the conclusion that the proper sum for the house to vote as provision for the Duke of Cambridge was £ 12 , 000 a year . His lordship moved a resolution to this effect , Mr . Home detailed the particulars of tho various grants formerly voted to princes of the blood-royal , as well as of his own frequent appeals in behalf of retrenchment . He proposed that the amount of the grant should be reduced to £ 8 , 000 a year . Mr . Disraeli said that the proposed sum exhibited a large reduction from that voted to the late Duke of Gloucester , and was sufficient to accommodate the income to the altered state of the times , and he did not think the vote asked by the government to he exorbitant .
Mr . Bright , as the sincere friend of the monarchy , recommended the house not to peril the popularity of that institution in the people by making them pay too dearly for it . He deprecated the precedent , that would be set for future allowances to the children of the O ^ ueen by voting £ 12 , 000 a year to her cousin . Believing the grant was extravagant in itself , would be unpopular with the country , and damaging to the royal family , he supported Mr . Hume ' s amendment for reducing the amount by one-third . The Marquis of Gbanbt , Sir R . Inglis , Colonel Rawbon , and Colonel Chatterton spoke in
support of the original motion , and against the amendment , which , upon a division , was negatived by . 206 to 53 . , . - Mr . IIume then moved that the sum be £ 10 , 000 a year , and after a few remarks from Lord J . Russell , . Mr . V . Smith , Mr . Hetworth , and Mr . H . DnoMMOND , the committee , upon a division , negatived this amendment by 177 to 55 . The original motion , that £ 12 , 000 a year be voted as a suitable provision for his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge , was then agreed to . A resolution granting an annuity of £ 3 , 000 a year to the Princess Mary of Cambridge was agreed to without opposition . The resolutions were then reported .
¦ The house then went into committee of supply on the civil service estimates . A motion proposed by Mr . CoBOEtr , to disallow the . sum of £ 10 , 000 demanded for the purchase of certain Danish forts on the Gold Coast of Africa was discussed at much lenght . On a division it was negatived by 138 votes to 42 . The Excise Sugar and Licenses Bill went through committee . The other business on tbe paper was disposed of , and the house adjourned at half-past one o ' clock *

"} BANQUET : TO LORp ^ jPALMBRSTON . the members of the Reform . Club gave agrtR " entertainment , on Saturday evening , to Lord Palmeraton , to express their confidence in his policy , and to commemorate the triumph of that noble lord in the vote of the House of Commons on Mr . Roebuck ' s motion . The pwttcipante in the honour of welcoming and congratulating the noble lord were necessarily limited to but a small portion of the whole body of the members of the Club ; the first 200 only of the members who had signed the invitation being privileged to obtain tickets for their own admission— that number being tbe extent which the grand dining-ball of tbe Club , can accommodate ,
The Club was specially decorated , and furnished for tbe occasion . The candelabra round the front were lighted , illuminating in a manner far more decided , grand , and characteristic than gas jets or coloured lamps , not only the whole of that part of Pall-mall iu which it stands . In . tbe magnificent vestibule , the galleries , and the reception-rooms , exotic plants , articles of vertu , and other items of tasteful embellishment , were abundantly distributed , and in the dining room the exhibition of plate in candelabra , vases , tazza , and other appropriate decorations of the banquet table , was profuse . The band of the Coldstream Guards was in attendance in the vestibule , and performed during the . dinner . Mr , Ralph Osborne , M . P . for Middlesex , presided .
' The ordinary loyal toasts having been duly honoured , , ¦ The Chairman , in proposing ''The Navy and Army , " said he had great pleasure ; in coupling with his toast the names of two . great heroes who had shaken both tbe senate and the field—Admiral Sir Charles Napier and Sir De Lacy Evans . ^ Cheers . ) Sib Charges Napibb , in returning thanks for the navy , said the noble lord ( Palmerston ) had been more closely connected with th ^ n ' avy than they bad supposed , for he bad conjmenced-hia career in , the navy as a Lord of the Admiralty * ,. and , had he continued in it , his career would bave'ibe ' en as brilliant as it had been in a political point of fiew . ( Hear . )
When his connexion with the navy ceased he had still found occasion for its services—first , in carrying out his policy in Belgium ; and afterwards in Portugal . Subsequently , be bad called thc navy and tbe army into operation in Spain , and had by so doing preserved the peace of Europe . ( Cheers . ) Afterwards , in Syria , with . a handful of sailors and mariners , he had settled a question , which had posed all the statesmen of Europe . He ( Si-Charles ) had had the honour of serving under the noble lord many years—for the Secretary of Foreign Affairs , was in effect , First Lord of the Admiraltynud his policy was such that any officer might be proud to be employed under him . ( Cheers . ) SirDE L , Evans , M . P ., acknowledged the toast on behalf of the army . In one part of the noble
lord ' s policy , as it regarded Spain , he had been personally concerned in bringing about a better state of things . Comparing Spain , twenty years ago with what it was now , it would appear . that no country of Europe had , made greater , progress in rational liberty , and civil and religious freedom , in to short a space of time ; and this was , in a great measure , owing to the policy pursued'by , the noble lord . ( Cheers . ) The Chairman , after some observations , said , I give , then , with all the honours—that "nine times nine " which is only devoted to celebrated men"The health of our valued ' guest , Lord Palmerston . " The toast was most enthusiastically received , and drunk with " all the honours , " as indicated by the chairman .
Lord Paimbrsion was received with loud cheers , and every demonstration of enthusiasm . He said : — When I think of the honourable and flattering reception I hare mot with from you this day ; and when I think ef the terms—so far exceeding anything which I feel conscious of deserving—in which my hon . and gallant friend has been pleased to propose this toast , I am sensible of the truth of what you have often heard , that it is far more easy to find arguments with which successfully to repel one ' s opponents than it is to find words adequate to express thanks and gratitude . to one ' s friends , It is ma , indeed , that out of the fulness of the heart the mouth speaketh ; but , my lords and
gentlemen , the heart may be too full to allow tbe tongue its proper utterance . ( The noble lord was here much affected . ) Gentlemen , you have met here to-day not onl y to testify . kind and friendly feelings to one individual , but you have met -also , I apprehend , to record , by a public demonstration , your opinion as to great apd leading principles of public policy . ' ( Cheers . ) . J am entitled to infer that the principles of policywhieh have guided the government , of which I have'the honour to be a member , in their administration . of the foreign relations of this country , have been such generally , speaking in general terms , as you have thought deserving of your approbation . Those principles of
policy may ; be described in a few words . The guiding objects of tbe policy of the government with regard to our foreign relations have been the interests of England—( loud cheers )—interests which have their beginning in the well-being of this country , and which in their progress comprehend the well-being of every other country . There is no land , however distant or however near —however civilised or however barbarous—in which Englishmen are not found , for the purposes of recreation or of health , in the pursuit of science or of commerce , or in the noble and higher avocation of shedding through the regions of darkness the light of the Christian faith . ( Cheers . ) ' I contend tbat
these fellow-subjects of ours are entitled , wherever they may be , to think that they are under the guardianship of the watchful eye of this country r- ( loud cheers)—and to assume that England will either protect them from wrong , or , if wrong is done , that her power will obtain for them redress . ( Cheers , ) I have said that the interest of England is , not only that we should ourselves participate in these objects , but also that we rejoice in the wellbeing of aU other nations . The days are gone byat least in this country—when men thought , when nations imagined , that their own prosperity was to be promoted by the adversity of their nei ghbours . ( Cheers . ) We glory in our own wealth , in our own happiness , in our own liberty ; . but we do not desire
a monopoly of those blessings ; and , SO far an our efforts can be properly exercised , I think it is the duty of the government of this country to assist Other nations in following our example—those who are endeavouring , at least , to ' attain the position which we occupy . ( Cheers . ) * Do not imagine that we are less sensible than any ; other men in the country of tbe value and importance of peace . Do not imagine that we think lightly of . the calamities of war—of the , interruptions which , war opposes to all improvements , social , political , and commercial . Do hot imagine that we are insensible to those great reasons which ought to deter the government of this country from involving , without absolute ncessitv .
the people with Whose destines they were charged in aD the miseries and calamities of war . Anxious as the people of this country are to " preserve peace and ajvoid war with any country , ; yet ,. believe me , there is no other country which is not so . disinclined—and that for the best of all reasons-r ? to go . to war with England as England can be to , go to war with them . ( Cheers . ) This consciousness of , strength—this feeling of the national bower , ought ' never to tempt the government or the . pebple Jff Ebgland to commit anything that is unjust or wrongJ but it ought at least to bear us up in pursuing , thecause of justice and honour , and induce us hot lightly to give way to apprehensions founded on ho ' real groumi , ( Loud
cheers . ) I feel that we may be proud , and reasonably proud , of the country in which we have the good fortune to be born . ( Cheers . ) It seems to me that this British nation is destined under Providence to bear an honourable part in promoting and advancing the civilisation of mankind . ( Loud cheers . ) It is from this hive that the swarm has proceeded—that living and active swarm which had covered with the works of its constructive industry the wilds or primeval' forests ' of 'North America there is no land , however remote , in which Englishmen have not introduced the arts of civilisation and the blessings of Christianity ; and . here in this land , where we are at . home , we feel proud to think that hold out to the
we civilised nations of the world an example of internal organisation , of systematic and progressive improvement—a practical nroof and conviction that in the improvement and reform of our institutions you give them strength , and do not overthrow or destroy thera-nay . that thi . country holds out to the < iivuS ? d nations ot the world an example worthy of the imitation of every statesman , and worthy also of the admiration of the wisest philosopher . ( Cheers . ) Gentlemen' I again thank you-mostinadequi ^ telj thank youior tne great and distinguished honour which you awe conferred upon me . This yoii may depend on , that so long as this country has the good fortune to be
represented by such men as I see around me , and as long as the people of this country are animated by the generous and patriotic feelings which have led you here to-day , there is no danger that any government of England will . shrink from the performance of their duty , and there never can be fear for the fortunes of ohr country . ( Tho noble lord resumed his seat amidst enthusiastic cheering . ) Lord James Stuart , M . P ., proposed " Lord John Russell and hor Majesty ' s Ministers , ( cheers . ) The AiroRNBi .
